Wrap it up: Tofu Salad!

Tofu is probably one of the most versatile plant proteins to cook with. One of my favorite ways to eat tofu is in an egg-salad-like dish (sans eggs). This dish can be eaten in a wrap, a sandwich, on crackers, or on its own. Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients (serves four or more)

1/2 a package of firm tofu, drained

1 carrot, peeled and cut into small pieces

1/4 cup onion, chopped

1 celery stalk, chopped

1 tsp. dill

dash of black pepper

1/2 tsp. turmeric (optional, used for color)

1 tsp. mustard

3 tbsp. vegan mayonaise

1 tsp. soy sauce or tamari

1 tbsp. tahini sauce (optional)

Directions

Drain the tofu and press out remaining water using paper towels. Chop the tofu into small pieces.

Chop the onions, carrot, and celery.

Combine the ingredients in a bowl, and add mustard, vegan mayo, soy sauce, and tahini. Add spices (pepper, turmeric, dill). Mix together and add to your favorite slice of bread, salad, or wrap.
